Found Deceased TX - Sherin Mathews, 3, Richardson, 7 Oct 2017 #2

I'm aware that the video isn't from neighbor's security camera. I was commenting on the method used to load the SUV onto the flatbed. Usually when vehicles are taken by LE for investigations, the vehicle is hooked up and pulled up onto the flatbed, not driven.

Aha! I misunderstood your post. Thanks for the clarification....and good observation.

That video was shot by MSM as part of news coverage when LE took the vehicles for investigation. That video is not from the neighbor's security camera.

I thought that the poster was referring to the fact that the SUV was being driven, not towed. This introduced a person into a potential crime scene.

Yes, you're right. I misunderstood the post.

Nalanda A couple of Americans have adopted Saraswati Kumari, a two-year-old orphan. Now this child will flourish in America's royal family. This child has been taken from Nalanda Mother Teresa Orphan Seva Ashram Co-operative Adoption Institute, Nalanda, run by the Social Welfare Department. On Thursday, police captain Kumar Ashish handed over the non-girl child to the American couple Wesley Moon Mathew and his wife Minni Siele Arn Mathew after completing all the paperwork.

The result of all this is that the orphanage may indeed get more publicity and more families willing to adopt the children. Silver lining, perhaps.

Unless that house was built different than the rest of the neighborhood, the walls are so thin. You can hear everything, even with a fan on your nightstand. I would think they may have a baby monitor as well, if Sherin was developmentally delayed. I'm not sure if she is, but I would assume if someone woke her up to give her a nutritional drink, they'd care to have some kind of monitor. Pure assumption on my end, of course.

We used a baby monitor when the kids were small, but only in their bedrooms. I didn't get the impression, though, that she woke them up crying for the drink. I thought it was a scheduled drink, that they had to awaken, and give her each night at a certain time, due to her health issues.

Where was she given the milk? I've not read if he took her to the kitchen to give her the milk, or brought the milk to her bedroom. If it's bedroom, the monitor can be turned off, or noises explained away. If it's kitchen, he'd likely not take the bedroom monitor with him. As for the mother, she could have just went back to sleep when he got up to fix the drink, and is a very sound sleeper. Maybe she is complicit in what happened to her child, maybe she is not. Fwiw, if I were the mother, I'd fire my lawyer, and hire another. I don't think, personally, that he was of any help to her in the public eye.

RE: rehoming legal vs illegal.

The laws about transfer of custody of a child are really very wide open. Essentially, my understanding is that a parent may transfer custody at will. No home study or any kind of screening prescribed. About the only "illegal" way I can think of would be if there were an exchange of cash, triggering trafficking laws. But IF that were the case, I would think that the objective would be NOT to draw attention (by staging a false abduction or coyote attack).

Very little in what we know about this case speaks to elaborate pre--planning. The story provided to LE (the milk incident and the outdoor time-out) open Dad up to actual charges and raise a lot of questions about what he was doing during the five hour time-frame from 3-8 AM.

Still looks to me like "something happened" that resulted in this little girl's death and was followed by an attempt to hide that reality. A dust-up of some kind regarding milk-drinking may have been an actual trigger. And I suspect that the tree may link to some actual event--perhaps setting her body out in the hope of her being found by coyotes. Or perhaps she was shaken and actually placed out there (alive) and when Dad returned she had expired.

Hearing hooves, I think we are looking for horses here, rather than zebras.

Some states are passing laws to make re-homing illegal but re-homing across state lines is illegal by a little know part of the ICPC.

an agreement among the 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands called the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children, or ICPC. The agreement requires that if a child is to be transferred outside of the family to a new home in a different state, parents notify authorities in both states. That way, prospective parents can be vetted.

Just a random piece of info....Most homes in Texas for whatever reason, especially in that area, this home included, the front of the house is not where the garage is. The garage is behind the home, and that is where the garage opens into an alley and all the neighbors backyards and alleys face each other. Just how they do it there. They have alleys behind their houses.

If you watch this video of the house you will notice you dont see the garage because they are in front of the house. Dont know if this is helpful but thought Id share. When I moved to Texas it was one of those things I wasnt used to.

OT I had not seen the video until yesterday, but had "driven" the area on Google and thought how odd, and kinda neat, that it was, that the garages were in the back of the homes like that. In the clips that I'd seen earlier, I'd seen only the fronts of the homes, and wondered where on earth they parked their vehicles and why they had no garages or driveways. Then, I thought maybe the alleys (where he is said to have left the toddler) were where they parked their vehicles. Soooo, when I got on Google Earth to drive around, I discovered the layouts. A sad way to find out about the neat home, and subdivision, layouts in your region. The garages here are jutted out in front of many of the newer style homes in subdivisions. I'd say that's why someone came up with this design. It probably makes it more noticeable when unknown vehicles go through the neighborhood. Makes for a very tidy and neat subdivision too. I swear, I have learned something new, almost every day since I've become a member of WS.

The public eye isn't who she is trying to please or who she is concerned about. Her lawyer clearly stated that she wants her daughter back (and then he said something like "and Sherin") so he is likely working hard behind the scenes with CPS and the family courts trying to get visitation setup in the interim as they wait for her to be given custody back.

Whether she will ever get custody again or not will depend on what LE finds but at this point we are to assume LE still doesn't expect to press charges against her and that her child was taken because of the circumstances surrounding Sherin's disappearance.

He could be a really bad lawyer, or he could be a great family lawyer and fighting hard for her behind the scenes. Does anyone know if he is also a criminal lawyer or what he specializes in? In my area there are family lawyers, criminal lawyers and some who do both. I would assume he does both given the investigation, but if he is a criminal lawyer only that could lead to some speculation.

ETA: I do think if she ever does begin to speak that she should consider someone who deals with PR because the way her lawyer worded some things, like her "mourning" is very conflicting and gives an impression of guilt. However, regardless of how much she talks or stays silent, people will always tear her apart.

The orphanage may stop allowing Americans to adopt their babies if he ends up charged with this crime. Just like Russia did.

His website says DWI,Animal Cruely, Sex Crimes, Domestic Violence & drug charges. But after googling him, I think he does it all. I dont know that he has a specialty but quite a few reviews for him getting people off drug charges.

True, that is a possibility.

Here's a photo of baby Sherin at 1-1/2 years old that someone posted on the Finding Sherin Mathews FB page. Taken in India before she was adopted.

Aren't they from that area (not just India, but the specific area the orphanage is in) originally? If so, I think it's less likely that will happen.

Bihar Sharif Saraswati, a three-year-old girl who was adopted by the American couple last year from a special Dattak Sansthan, run by the Nalanda Mother Teresa Orphan Seva Ashram, is being reported missing in the US. On June 23 last year, America's Wesley Mathews and his wife Mini Simi adopted it after completing the adoption process. In the presence of then SP Kumar Ashish and his devout Devyani, the couple was handed over to the couple. On the occasion, many other people including Director of Child Learning Unit Neha Nunapura were also present. Now this child is said to be missing.

The disappearance of a child has become the subject of discussion in the American media. According to the information, the couple of US Texas Town named Saraswati named Sherin Mathews. On Saturday, she did not drink the whole milk, for this reason the couple had stopped the door and closed the door. After a while, the baby got missing after opening the door. According to the information, the American investigating agency has been searching for the child. Her adoptive father Vasily Matthews is native to Ernakulam of India.

The child was not given to the first foreign couple
Secretary of the orphan service Ashram, Babita Kumari confirmed this. He told that he has also been informed of the disappearance of this child, which is very bad for him. He said that the whole process was completed to the baby girl. Under the previous rules, the foreign couple was forbidden to adopt a child, but after the amendment of the rules, the foreign couple can also adopt the child after completing the procedure.

All the athletes in the orphanage
After the disappearance of Saraswati like this in the orphanage, everyone is hurt. Sensations associated with her child are attached. It is being said that it is very wrong to take the child out of the house because of not drinking milk. Action must be taken on the couple for this matter. It should be considered violence with the child. In the American media, such allegations are being made. The adoptive couple has a daughter from the east.

Non-girl child??? I'm guessing that's a misprint.

it's a language/translation/linguistic issue - not all languages use gender in the same ways the English language does.

He is known to be a lawyer who gets results. He does a lot of drug related cases, DWI, domestic violence. He has offices around the metroplex. Beyond that, I don't know much about him. I looked at his website and family or custody issues are not something listed, that I've found.

Just from personal experience in working with local CPS...I do not think she will get her daughter back anytime soon, if ever. She could be granted supervised visitation, but I just don't see her getting the child. I would also be surprised if the child stays with her family, and instead is placed with a foster family unrelated to her. All JMO.

ETA: I should have just said "stays with family" since we don't know what side of the family is caring for the girl now.
